I hosted my annual kid Halloween party on Sunday. We lucked out with the weather, it was a beautiful day. Everyone had a great time! I served my annual taco soup with mexican cheese and frito's. I asked all the guests to bring an appetizer or a dessert. We had plenty to eat! My taco soup recipe is a hit with adults and kids, here is the recipe:
2 lbs ground beef
1 can rotel
1 pkg of Hidden Valley Ranch
1 pkg of Taco Seasoning
3 cans of Pinto Beans
3 cans of whole corn
Brown the meat, and drain as much grease out as you can. In the crockpot put all the ingredients together, don't drain the beans or corn, just throw everything in and let it cook in the crockpot! Delicious!!
Anyway, back to the party. Every year I like to make some goodies to give to the kiddo's when they leave the party, this year I made these hershey bars covered like mummies and white chocolate skeleton suckers! They were a hit and the kiddo's loved them.
I bought the skeleton mold at the dollar store! It was for skeleton ice cubes but I just poured white chocolate into it and put a stick in it. So easy!
I had a mold to make these, there is an oreo cookie in the middle. This was the first batch that I had ever done, so they weren't perfect, but I thought they were cute!
This year I made feely boxes and put all sorts of gross things in them. The kiddo's loved it! I wanted them to experience this because I remember growing up and doing it and I wanted them to have the memory too! I did teeth, brains, fingers, eyeballs and a tongue!
I have used this same banner for years. I'm not really a big fan of it, but it's memories for the kiddo's!
I started putting these bat's on my wall last year!
Hopefully another good memory maker for my kiddo's!
My scary ninja and zombie bride!
I made ice cubes with body part gummies that I bought at the dollar store!
I put eyeballs all over my dispenser and filled it up with Hawaiian Punch!
It was a hit! I forgot to snap a photo of it when it was filled, but it was cute!
Aren't these cupcakes adorable?! One of the mom's made these! I was so impressed!!
We played hot potato to scary music, I told a ghost story, we did a pinata and then the kiddo's just ran and played with each other--they were so full of sugar! LOL!
The feely boxes!
So lucky to have a teenager next door who was willing to help me with it so the kiddo's couldn't peek in! They liked it!!
The party was fun for the adults too!
Our party started at 2pm and some of the families didn't leave until almost 7pm!
It was a hit!
